Why Being Original Matters

On Thursdays Tim invites different guests to Marketscale Live to talk about key topics relevant to their business and tie in marketing solutions that are helping them grow. In this week’s episode, Bret and Tim will discuss why being original matters and how developing creative content helps set end users and distributors apart from the competition. The idea of original content, is really just creating owned content and telling your story – not just relying on others to tell it for you. One of the most important parts of this is knowing your audience and what will resonate, but also pushing boundaries. 

A great example of some original content from Microdrones was the first “Down to Earth” reality series, created in conjunction with Crafton Tull and Navigation Electronics, Inc. (NEI.)

Down to Earth documented the challenges and hazards that surveying crews face while working out in the field. In the first episode, you’ll meet the Crafton Tull team and learn about their mission – delivering key data on 150 acres of the cliff-filled region of Big Creek where they are tasked with surveying the site so that their engineers can design a road through the heart of the mountainous terrain.

Throughout the series, you’ll see how Crafton Tull attacked this challenging terrain head-on with the Microdrones mdLIDAR1000, leveraging the drone to navigate an elevation change of more than 500 feet.

Being original and creating fun and exciting content such as Down to Earth resonates with the audience, showcases the product and fosters a stronger relationship with both the end-users and the distributors.
